How to run this activity
Adult-led, age-appropriate bingo. Let each child opt out, listen or point instead of speaking; never ask for full names, addresses, identity, photographs, contact details or family information. Tick a square after a safe, observable moment; provide accessible seated play.
Facilitator guidance
Give a brief example and gently encourage introductions, while allowing children to pass without sharing personal information. Check the group size and children's interests when choosing squares, and consider a 3×3 board for smaller groups. On a five-wide board, aim for a line of five rather than a full card. Keep participation voluntary throughout.
Safety and inclusion
Provide adult supervision, use inclusive, age-appropriate language and check that the activity is accessible to every child. Keep participation private by default: do not collect identifiable child data or ask children to disclose personal details. Do not require photographs, and offer inclusive alternatives to speaking or moving around.
